This has to be the most boring and generic looking bike I've ever seen.
I bet it's like 20hp or some weak ass shit too.
God damn that's a sad bike.

whats that even supposed to mean?

I like this edition.

RJ pls leave.

JK I love you

Would you guys be happy if this was your bike's vid?

I think that in the future I need to get some more detail shots... in this case of shaky exhaust, or the gremlin bell, or the dials....

Also getting some context with shots of the farm etc to build a story would be better too.

But I wanted to get something under 60 secs to post on instagram...

Thanks fr your feedback!

Dirt bikes are for kids, oh wait. That vid shows that.

Hello :)
How'd you sleep

burn nigger burn

...

look, the poor nigger got triggered

too fucken easy

...

>found my licensplate laying around on the street
what the fugg

So you arent so vain that you wont post without a trip.

How crazy is changing the transmission gears with wider ratio gears? I feel I can safely assume that's better left to a shop?

>after it had been discarded frim the criminal activity it was involved in.

Just dont use it. Get a new plate. Will look suspect as fuck if it was.

not if you want to git gud

gonna get one this summer i guess

nah my nigg, I'm not in the US
the police told me everything aaight

>so self absorbed he thinks it about him

LMAO

Thats good. You got lucky. Criminal elements are in every society.

Depends on the bike. Have a look around and see if another model uses the same transmission with wider ratios. Swapping the whole gear set might not be too hard if you can drop the whole other shaft in. Picking your own gears could be tough if there's space issues inside the box .etc

Does this mean that the indicator bulbs I use should be either 23w, or 21w and nothing else?

Specifically, I'm looking at the ACT wide ratio gear set for a drz400, theres some small dremel stuff to do which is easy, but the process of actually -doing- the swap, like, taking the transmission off and stuff, I have no idea where to even begin.

Tricks are for kids. Dirt bikes are for all humanoids capable.

Great. I dreamed I was piloting an h2r on an empty city street with a parachute. At max speed I deployed it.

IN THE MEMETIME

Is this a good first motorcycle?

no

Why not?

My main points for choosing a motorcycle:

>Has to be comfortable due to back problems
>Doesn't have to be too high, so that I can easily get on top.

It's basically this what I want.

What should I get then?

wr 125

>wr 125

I don't want anything lower than 500cc.

Dis
Or vulcan

>bike is inside with a full tank
>smell faint whiff of gas from around the gas cap

time to evacuate or

Are you guys fucking shitting me or something?

Big first bike will kill you

Better post on Veeky Forums

Do you think I have the money to go around buying several bikes with increased CC just to train?

Do you think I actually want to buy a 125, then a 200, then a 400, then a 500 and so on?

Yes,
But vulcan is the correct answer. Especially since you apparently want a cruiser. Also since they got the ergo fit program which makes the vulcan real comfy for your back, and i guess its not the nicest looking bike ( though its looks great to me atleast) its pretty decent, but if youre willing to wait you vould check out the honda rebel 500 once reviews come out , considering your a beginner and all

I guess you don't value your life that much
Speaking from experience, a ~400 would be enough, fuck you could get a gs500 for dirt cheap and resell it with no loss

Alot of people will tell you to start on a 125, and theyre not wrong but through experience i know that around 400-650cc is still a very good range for beginners (depending on the bike). Although up to 800 is do-able i guess but i wouldnt reccomend it

So what's a nice used 400cc bike that I can get?

Are these enough for trips around the countryside on weekends?

wut baiku is this

How's your form DBT? Like honestly.

Budget?
What kind of bike?
If you just want comfy, gs500, vulcan, vfr400...

I'm seeing this one for around 3500 used.

KAWASAKI EN 500

Ducati scrambler sixty2 if you can find it used and want boipucci (although seriously they are decent bikes)

I personally reccomend a Kawasaki ninja 650

aaaah is dat some knights of sidonia? Fucking sweet color scheme.

I want something a bit more old school, like a cruiser.

XT 660

The best thing to come out of honda in a good while

Get a standard, cruisers destroy your ass

What's a standard?
I need something comfy that doesn't fuck my back.

I'd give it a solid B, other things need work more than the body position, mostly braking.

A standard is exactly that, a middle ground
The starting shape from which all motorbike design have evolved

Standards are basically what most people think of when they hear motorcycle, despite not knwoing what its called. They have elements of everything and are great for beginners wanting to find out what type of bike they really want
That being said considering your determination to go cruiser there arent really alot of options in the 400 range but jump up a bit and you got the vulcan s which like i said is great. If your willing to get new then i guess the rebel 500 is more your style and significantly cheaper

0/10 tbqh

Oh, and i forgot, you can use the site in the op, cycle ergo, to see how bikes will fit you

Over 300cc is a bad idea for very fresh beginners who haven't ever ridden motorcycles at road speeds. Big dimension bikes are also not the best idea. It's easier to learn bike control to a real noob on light 250s.

After about 6 months on this, when it should be becoming natural to ride and you know how to corner properly, getting a bigger bike up to 600 sportsbike kind of performance (if they have some self control) shouldn't be a problem. Larger, heavier but not highly powered bikes aren't unreasonable after just a couple of months if you just take time to master its slow speed control and are cautious in the corners.

literally read

shit desu

yeah but what make/model

How was your ride this morning?

>wet, very misty/foggy, almost lost rear traction in a hard brake onto an off ramp

why are you hard braking in the wet onto an off ramp?

are you a shit rider or something?

Got my Mod 2 tomorrow, what happens if I don't answer the safety questions correctly? is it a major or minor?

>mfw I ride faster/better on my 125 than all those born again retards on their Suzuki bandit going fast on the straight and then slowing down like a fucking pussy on the bends

Happened rght now, going through country lanes, this guy on a big bike rides right up to my ass, but as soon as the road bends I out accelerate the shit out of him.

that's not atypical. 600s are usually faster in the canyons around here.

>muh liter

No drz shilling is allowed in this thread...

>what happens if I don't answer the safety questions correctly?

You walk back inside with the examiner, and your instructor takes them piss (and more money) out of you.

FFS Honda, export the goddamn 2016 colour option Vultus already!

They killed it when they decided to bring the one without the fat ass

Does anyone have any experience with GPR exhausts? I'm thinking of putting an aftermarket exhaust on my next bike, but all the manufacturers seem to differ a lot in price and looks.

they're pretty good

I do not understand though how they can sell them for 300 Euros where as Leo Vinces or MIVVs are like double the price

they're underground
you don't pay the name

okay

I could deal with fitting the panniers myself, but not repainting the whole thing.
The hell of it, is, the 2014 Vultus (all we get here) is not EURO4 compliant, so even though they will be unsellable from 1/2/17, they're not even discounted and no sign of the 2016 Vultus turning up.

suzuki for the best

...

I'd say 2/10. This is a picture of my first session. I feel like like I improved later that day.

but don't because that's full of fearmongering nonsense

>sharp handling that doesn't tolerate mistakes! you can't swerve, you can't brake without flipping over
>the deadly suportsport will complete its lap with or without you on it
>buy a ninja 250

well the handling is true, I went from a ex250 to a gsxr600 and the input felt so direct and oversensitive at first.
Like you playing with mouse sensivity at 5 all the time and suddenly it's 10
if you're noob and panic that may can lead to problems

who's this one meme guy and why is he a meme?

wr anton, because he should basically end it all now

Displacement doesn't matter.

A VFR800 might be a lot easier to ride than a GSXR750
But harder to cope with than a CBR250 MC22
And they're all worse beginner bikes than the suzuki SV650
Which is a better start than a 125 single or 250 twin

>inb4 "bbbbut you'll be forced to be faster in corners with a bike that's slower than a toyota corolla"
if you're on a track or breaking the fucking law maybe. what if you take your sv650 to the track and there's nothing but liters there? are you going to rely on the straights? or will you ignore corners as long as you pass the 250s? better buy a 50cc with a ten speed transmission for maximum learning and don't even touch the road until you've lapped a liter.

It's like turning it up from 5 to 7 senpai
